Athanasios (Arthur) Synodinos who has recently entered the Australian Senate is going to give his first speech before the members of the Senate on Wednesday.
The election of Synodinos followed the retirement of former senior minister Helen Coonan earlier in the year.
Mr Synodinos served as chief of staff to Mr Howard between 1996 and 2006 and is held in high regard by both sides of politics as a thinker and strategist.
Mr. Synodinos was born in 1957 in Newcastle, Australia to Greek parents from Kefalonia, Greece. He keeps close contact to the Greek Community and has served in the past in the board of directors of the Greek Community of Canberra.
